Just remove the wings from the chicken prior to cooking at the main joint section that attaches them to the bird. You can also buy bags of frozen wings that are already cut into separate "drumettes." The meat department at your local store may also have fresh packaged wings for purchase. It usually depends on how many you will need either enough for a party or just enough for a meal for two.
